‘I dont like the shakes’- Shelby, 3
At Amys house the earthquake made me very scared, it moved the house and it was shaking and shaking like it would break but it didn’t break. Some of the shelf things fell down and the roof nearly fell down and we just went like turtles and then had a big big cuddle. I dont like the shakes.
Hi Shelby
I don’t like the shakes either!
I am very happy Any’s house didn’t break, it must be a strong house.
Good thing you know how to be a turtle, isn’t that a good thing to do?
Cuddles are the best thing to make you feel better, I am sure there are lots of people who want to cuddle you!
I hope you and your family and friends will always remember we are thinking of you lots.

Dear Shelby,
You and Amy did exactly the right thing, I work at a school in Wellington and we practice being turtles there too. I’m glad you had a big hug afterwards because earthquakes can be very frightening. I hope that you, and everyone in your family are O.K, and the shakes stop soon. I think you and your family and friends are incredibly brave, I will be thinking of you. Keep Safe.
